# Top Tips:

01 -
  • Everything happens in one pan so cleanup takes literally minutes
  • Rotisserie chicken shortcut means dinner is ready in under 35 minutes
  • Those vegetables get perfectly tender without turning mushy
02 -
  • Add the spinach last or it will overcook and become unappetizingly mushy
  • Do not overcrowd the pan or vegetables will steam instead of developing nice color
  • Rotisserie chickens vary in saltiness, so always taste before adding extra salt
03 -
  • A squeeze of fresh lemon juice right before serving brightens everything
  • Parmesan adds a salty finish but the dish is complete without it
